Times Change 时代变迁
Four decades ago, by implementing the reform and opening-up policy, China paved the way to becoming a fully-modernized socialist country. Now under CPC’s leadership, the Belt and Road Initiative allows China to develop further alongside other countries, forming a solid economic basis for an era of cultural prosperity. However, some integral components of our culture have changed for good.
In my neighbourhood, there was a humble bookstore with old brick exterior and dusty shelves, where a bunch of us kids would frequently drop by/in. We spent hours poring over comics and literary classics or chatting with the elderly owner seated on the old furniture. From primary school to secondary school, this bookstore kept clearing away mist in my mind.
The other day, this legendary fixture was torn down and reconstructed into a bookstore chain. Saleswomen in fancy costumes are busy displaying best-sellers, stationary, learning tablets and even organic food, while the “literature-loving” customers are occupied with delivering book readings, poetry recitals, journalists meetings and even jazz concerts. It feels as if you were in a noisy cafeteria!
Plus, our mother tongue Chinese is being changed by emojis, a pictorial language coming in different categories. Most teens argue that these pictographs with emotional meaning are similar to our gestures and facial expressions, facilitating expanding upon the way in which we communicate. There’s even a tendency to adapt classics by replacing words with textspeak and emojis.
However, educators worry that emojis’ popping up make our language less accessible to the elderly and these adaptations, despite good intention, have taken away the heart and soul of classics. The teens urgently need to use standard written language or the society won’t show sympathy for them in seeking occupations.
二、核对译文
四十年前,通过实行改革开放政策,中国铺平了成为全面发展的社会主义现代化国家的道路。如今在共产党的领导下,一带一路倡议让中国与其他国家一起继续发展,为文化繁荣的时代奠定了坚实的经济基础。然而,我们文化中一些不可缺少的组成部分永久的改变了。
在我的小区,曾有一家简陋的书店,外墙是旧砖,书架满是尘土。我们一群孩子常常来这,花几个小时的时间浏览连环画和文学名著,或跟坐在旧家具上的年老的店主聊天。从小学到中学,这家书店一直扫清我心中的迷雾。
有一天,这处传奇般的存在被拆毁然后重建成了一家连锁书店。身着花哨戏服的女售货员忙着展示畅销书,文具,学习平板甚至有机食品,而“热爱文学的”顾客们忙着举办读书会,诗歌朗诵会,记者见面会,甚至爵士音乐会。这感觉就像你在一家吵闹的自助餐厅!
此外,我们的母语汉语正被表情符号改变,这是一种可分为不同类型的图画式语言。多数青少年认为这些带有情感意义的象形图类似于我们的手势和面部表情,能促进我们的交流。甚至出现了这样一种趋势:用短信简写和表情符号取代词汇来改编经典名著。
然而教育家们却担心,表情符号的突然出现让老年人不容易理解我们的语言,而且尽管意图很好,这些改编作品剥夺了经典名著的精髓和灵魂。青少年迫切需要使用标准的书面语,否则以后找工作时,全社会都不会同情他们。
